DescriptionThe adult son of former Illinois Atty. Gen. Jim Ryan was found dead over the weekend in the family's Elmhurst home in an apparent suicide, police said Monday.

The death of Patrick J. Ryan, 24, was the latest tragedy to strike the family, which lost a daughter to a brain tumor in 1997 and has suffered other serious health setbacks while in the public eye.

"Patrick was a loving son, caring brother and a compassionate uncle. He was the joy of our life," the Ryan family said in a statement Monday. "Our family asks that you respect our privacy as we mourn his unfortunate passing."
